We are Human too.”
End-of-life (EOL) doulas are emerging professionals who provide an intimate approach to the death process by focusing on the psychological, social, spiritual, and emotional needs of dying individuals. EOL doula work is stressful; it exposes individuals to recurring stressors such as suffering and grief. Trained professionals are needed to help advocate for the dying individual and their families. Despite the growing literature on EOL doulas, info…
Would you like me to take your hand?”
End-of-life (EOL) doulas are care providers and companions that offer spiritual, emotional, psychosocial, or psychological care to a person who is dying as well as their family and loved ones (Fukuzawa & Kondo, 2017). However, much like other options for EOL care (e.g., hospice, palliative care), their practice is often underutilized and misunderstood. There is limited research on EOL doulas, including who they are and what they do, leaving an op…
Lesbian, Gay, and Bisexual Widows’ Experiences of Grief, Identity, and Support
While LGB widows share some grief experiences with heterosexual widows, they also experience varying biological family acceptance and support, as well as the need for friends and families of choice as advocates. It is important to recognize the unique consequences of spousal loss for this population and be cognizant of the differences in normative grief
“I Could Do Stereotypical Old People Things … but I Feel Like I Would Get Bored With That Stuff”
The preventive and corrective proactivity model explores how internal and external resources mediate age-related stressors to counter negative outcomes of aging. Older adults’ proactivity about their future is consistently associated with higher quality of life, but research has not explored younger adults’ perceptions of their aging. We used interpretive phenomenology analysis to analyze 24 students’ essays from the beginning and end of an intro…
Racism, Ageism and Home
Despite a sizable literature on home and “place” in later life, few works have specifically focused on the intersection of home, “place,” ageism, and racism. Here, we therefore explore this intersection through a case study of Mr. M., a 69-year-old African American man living in Baltimore, Maryland. Mr. M described a lifetime of experiences with racism and later, ageism, that affected his everyday experiences with home and place. In his earlier l…
Experiences of educators who identify as lesbian, gay, and bisexual
The focus of the phenomenological qualitative study was on the lived experiences of U.S. educators who identified as lesbian, gay, and bisexual (LGB). Life story data regarding stress, coping, and identity were gathered, triangulated, and analyzed from 24 U.S. educators who identified as LGB teachers, mentors, and coaches. Four themes resulted: (a) subscribing to a helping identity, (b) being effective as an educator, (c) experiencing different l…
When I’m 75
Despite robust literature on people’s attitudes toward aging, far less is known about attitudes toward one’s own aging, especially among college students. We examined college students’ self-perceptions of the challenges of aging using essays from a “When I’m 75” assignment implemented at the beginning and end of the semester in an introductory gerontology course. Interpretive Phenomenological Analysis was used to analyze 24 students’ perceptions …
